David Tennant quits as Doctor Who
David Tennant is to stand down as Doctor Who, after becoming one of the most popular Time Lords in the history of the BBC science fiction show.
Tennant stepped into the Tardis in 2005, and will leave the role after four special episodes are broadcast next year.
He made the announcement after winning the outstanding drama performance prize at the National Television Awards.
"When Doctor Who returns in 2010 it won't be with me," he said."Now don't make me cry," he added. "I love this part, and I love this show so much that if I don't take a deep breath and move on now I never will, and you'll be wheeling me out of the Tardis in my bath chair."
'I'll miss it'
Three years was "about the right time" to play the role, he told the BBC in an exclusive interview.
"I think it's better to go when there's a chance that people might miss you, rather than to hang around and outstay your welcome," he said.
His stint in the show had been "the most extraordinary time, it's been bewildering, life changing, very exciting", he said.
"And just so much fun, such a great show to work on.
"That's one of the reasons I think it's right to take a deep breath and bow out when it's still fun, when it's a novelty.
"I don't ever want it to feel like a job, so I want to move on when it still feels exciting and fresh and that means I'll miss it."
Drama award
Tennant, the 10th actor to play the Doctor Who, left fans guessing about his return at the end of the latest series.
In the last episode, in July, the Doctor had to defeat his enemies the Daleks to save the universe.
Almost 10 million people watched as the Time Lord apparently started the process of regeneration - but did not complete it.
Tennant will appear in a Christmas special, titled The Next Doctor, before filming four more specials in January.
"They'll be the four last stories that I do," he said.
In a sign of his popularity, he was voted best drama performer in a public vote at the National Television Awards.
He has been named most popular actor at the same ceremony for the past two years. That prize has been discontinued this year.
An average of 8.1 million people a week watched the latest series - the fourth since it made a comeback in 2005 - in its Saturday evening slot on BBC One.
'Spectacular' exit
Russell T Davies, executive producer, said: "I've been lucky and honoured to work with David over the past few years - and it's not over yet, the Tenth Doctor still has five spectacular hours left!
"After which, I might drop an anvil on his head. Or maybe a piano. A radioactive piano. But we're planning the most enormous and spectacular ending, so keep watching."
A fifth series of the show is scheduled for 2010.
Tennant replaced Christopher Eccleston, who resurrected the show after a 16-year break.
Tennant made his name in TV dramas such as Blackpool and Casanova.
He started his career in theatre and in recent months has returned to the stage with well-received performances in Hamlet and Love's Labour's Lost for the Royal Shakespeare Company.
In December last year, Tennant denied rumours that he was planning to quit after Catherine Tate - his new companion in the Tardis - told the Jonathan Ross radio show she thought the next series of Doctor Who would be Tennant's last.
He said at the time: "Catherine Tate stitched me up good and proper. She goes on Jonathan Ross and makes up a load of old nonsense."

Jefferson's, Girlfriend and Poopin
For One: Jefferson's on TV Land Marathon. It is so cool. I have to say I enjoy randomly watching the Jefferson any time during the day. It is a good show.
Two: Mexican food. I have had so much food this weekend, a good deal of it being of a hispanic or mexican persuasion. Good stuff. I really really enjoyed it. Except that it made me sick. I pooped a good deal, a lot. Oh and the gas is BAD!! I mean just ask Russell or Chelsea they had to experience my gas first hand.
Three: My girlfriend, she's the best. I've been spending a lot of time with her. I love spending time with her. I love her. We went out and spent so much time together. It was great. Russell, however was very disgusted because we were "mashing faces" at the apartment. I of course like kissing Chelsea.
-Ben-
Also on personal note: God, if you read blogs, please let Chelsea's evil grandmother die quickly and maybe painfully. Of course, Satan, I know you're all over the web, if you're reading this we'll take your work too. We just HATE that evil bitch. We want her dead. Now look, this may seem harsh, but if you've ever met this horrible women you'd want her dead too, or maybe brain dead. So in conclusion, burn the bitch. Also Chelsea if this is too much tell me and I'll edit it.

Doctor Who Doomsday
The Runaway Bride Christmas Day 2006
Ok! I just saw some really good stuff, perhaps better still than last season's ending episode, even sadder, in my opinion. Sure only real nerds and television aficionados spend the time to download the show off the net to see it, even though it will be here in a few months give or take. However a true fan can't wait and when you don't have the BBC you make due.
This episode was great. Incredible writing. Typically amazing special effects. There was also great character development, especially with the Doctor, in my opinion. In the last fleeting seconds of his moments with Rose he wanted to tell her something so important, but alas as fate would have it, he couldn't deliver his message, likely of love.
Now frankly there is nothing more humorous to me than seeing the Daleks and Cybermen fight one another. Truly wonderful. I of course didn't see that happening at all in the last episode until the sphere opened and you see these Daleks emerge. I mean I honestly felt the goose bumps rising on my back and arms, because there is little that scares a television viewer more than the sight of a Dalek and hearing that shrill voice.
Of course in the end the Doctor manages to save the day and the earth he is on, but to his detriment he loses Rose and as I said earlier had but one more chance to speak to her, with the aid of the energy from a super nova to allow him to poke one last hole between universes.
I guess in a way it is good to know that Rose isn't really dead, though as far as that earth is concerned she is. I guess ultimately it will be nice to see a change even though we just got used to these characters in a way. Also I find it interesting to note that for the first time Doctor Who's new side kick will be a black woman. I look forward to meeting this character and I am sure it will go well.
I have to give this episode a 9 out of 10. I do so mostly because as a fan it really drew me in and of course left me wanting more. However I don't give it the full 10 out of 10 because there was just something about the way certain things went that seemed a bit cheesy. Such as Pete Tyler's rescue of rose or the Head of Torchwood in the Cyberman body defending torchwood to the last. It seemed a bit of a stretch.

Monk Season 5 Episode 1
Well as far as things go. It was a good start. I didn't find Stanley Tucci very funny at all. I think he over did it. The premise of a TV movie about a case was a little humorous especially Randy's character. I look forward to better from Monk and USA. I mean I realize that this is just the season opener, but it seems to have lost some of it's charm from earlier season's.
Tony Shalhoub and Traylor Howard both did wonderfully as Adrian and Natalie respectively. Of course, Ted Levine also did a good job as Captain Stottlemeyer. All of the regulars did well, but I guess this episode just didn't do it for me.
However the few moments between Tucci's character and Shalhoub were quite good especially in provoking feelings about Monk's past. That isn't to say this is good, but I found it interesting to see what happened.
Now as per the crime. This episode really did it well. I for one like most of you didn't know what everything was about until the very end. Now true I did say that I didn't like Tucci's character, but I must admit that if Monk were evil and psychotic then he played the perfect Monk. Watching the Monk (Shalhoub) on Monk (Tucci) play was wonderfully funny. Of course one has to wonder if something like this is truly believable, but it is television so anything can happen.
My favorite part would be near the end when Monk says he wanted to play a character that wasn't so dark and depressing., referring to Tucci's character. He then goes on to say that he is England doing Hamlet. Yet another great joke.
Overall I give this episode a 7.5 out of 10. Now I haven't made any specific criteria for any specific shows or anything like that. This scale is just my overall opinion of the episode. A 10 would be an Emmy worthy episode and a 1 would be a cancellation waiting to happen. I think that's a good scale. Well I hope you enjoyed this review.
Okay So Here Is More New
I will start to do this regularly or almost regularly on Sunday, I will start with shows that were on Friday and Saturday and see what happens from there. Note, I don't watch everyone and what I do watch is crap, well a lot of it is.
Also I have included a Paypal Donate button to act as a way for me to get money to possibly buy a laptop in the future. Now, of course, I expect no one to donate anything, but I thought I'd try. Also all donaters will be glorified and mentioned on this blog and if they have a website I will add it to my links of note.

Bad Weather + Power Outage = Teh Suxxors
I would say just before 6 Am the power returned. I know because my TV turned on again. The desk lamp I had on turned on again. My fan turned on again. I quickly turned off the light and the TV. However the fan I didn't care about. The cold air actually felt kind of nice. It had been getting unbearably warm. I was lying on my bed for a while more and I guess I fell asleep, again.
Two hours later, 8 Am, my alarm clocks go off. Because well I forgot I had alarm clocks turned on. So I keep hitting snooze for about 15 minutes. Then I finally decide to turn those damn annoying things off. I readjusted myself and fell asleep again. I woke finally up just after 11. I get to see the second half of this morning's football (soccer) matches currently on ESPN and ESPN2. I am watching the TUN--UKR game, because the SPN--SAU game is kind of boring to me.
My leg still sucks. It hurts a lot less that it did, but the skin still isn't healed. That really bothers me. Especially with the unbearable itch. Oh well. I can't change any of that. Now I have to set the time on my TV again and the VCR of course. Probably my PS2 as it occasionally acts teh gay like that. Thankfully nothing severe happened. As far as I know no one was injured in the weather last night, but I only skimmed through the local news before I started writing. I could always be wrong.
Well I am going to go and get myself something to drink. Maybe some more foodage as well. I don't know. Apparently we need to expect more of this crap in our area within the next hour or so. Hopefully to a lesser degree though. I do so not like bad weather. Especially when my power leaves me and I am away from my RSS feeds and my Email and especially my Torrents!!

I find that interesting 1 (Wedneday)
Okay so I have lots of free time but look at it, really.
The following is from one of the links at the botom, I just thought this was especially interesting as I just didn't know that.
In the United States and Canada, TV channel 37 occupies a band of frequencies from 608 to 614 MHz. Channel 37 has never been used by any over-the-air television station in North America, as it was reserved in 1963 for radioastronomy and (since July 2000) for medical telemetry equipment on a co-primary basis. Channel 37 is sometimes seen in fiction, the same way phone numbers with the "555" exchange are used.

What I am listening to...over a span of some time.
Petula Clark
You're the only one that I rely on
A shoulder there for me to cry on
And the hours alone that I'm without you
All I ever do is think about you
No one knows that you so understanding
Even though my love is so demanding
Everytime you look at me
Then you'll know we'll both agree
That no other love for me
I couldn't live without your love
Now I know you're really mine
Gotta have you all the time
Didn't like you much when I first met you
But somehow I couldn't quite forget you
Said you didn't want a friend or lover
That your life was happy with another
But as time went by my love grew stronger
Knew that I just couldn't wait any longer
For I couldn't let you know
When I have to tell you so
That I love you then you know
I couldn't live without your love
Now I know you're really mine
Gotta have you all the time
Now the tears are gone and I'm not crying
When you say you love me you're not lying
So when people want to stare
I know I don't really care
Just as long as you are there
I couldn't live without your love
Now I know you're really mine
Gotta have you all the time
I couldn't live without your love
Now I know you're really mine
Gotta have you all the time

"It Never Rains In Southern California"
(As recorded by Albert Hammond)
ALBERT HAMMOND
MIKE HAZELWOOD
Got on board a westbound seven-forty-seven
Didn't think before deciding what to do
All that talk of opportunities
TV breaks and movies, rang true
Sure rang true.
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours.
Out of work, I'm out of my head
Out of self-respect, I'm out of bread
I'm under loved, I'm underfed
I wanna go home
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours.
Will you tell the folks back home, I nearly made it
Had offers but don't know which one to take
Please don't tell 'em how you found me
Don't tell 'em how you found me
Give me a break, give me a break.
Seems it never rains in southern California
Seems I've often heard that kind of talk before
It never rains in California, but girl don't they warn ya
It pours, man it pours.

I Feel Fine
Lennon/McCartney
Baby's good to me you know
She's happy as can be, you know
She said so
I'm in love with her and I feel fine
Baby says she's mine, you know
she tells me all the time, you now
She said so
I'm in love with her and I feel fine
I'm so glad that she's my little girls
She's so glad she's telling all the world
That her baby buys her things you know
He buys her diamond rings, you know
She said so
She's in love with me and I feel fine, mm
Baby says she's mine, you know
she tells me all the time, you now
She said so
I'm in love with her and I feel fine
I'm so glad that she's my little girls
She's so glad she's telling all the world
That her baby buys her things you know
He buys her diamond rings, you know
She said so
She's in love with me and I feel fine
She's in love with me and I feel fine, mm

That 70s Show is over. Oh well. It kind of sucked that last season anyway.
Alias is also over. Same really. However I am glad that there was closure with all that stuff.
NCIS, Gibbs left, what the hell. That is so, well it just sucks. I hope it makes it next season.
CSI, WOW, that one threw me off gaurd, anyone else? Grissom and Sara? An item? Well there goes any thought of reason I would've had. Well whatever works for CBS I guess.
Lets see what else.
Oh on Grey's Anatomy Izzy apperantly left after the whole heart guy deal. Oh well, no big loss.
Boston Legal was humorous in its ending. That is all I can say about that.
Lost, now that was, well lets just say very good. I can't wait for next season. I don't want to spoil that for people who didn't see.
The Unit, seems to have ended its season, which is okay, its a good show and I hope to see it come back.
I am a little sad at the apperant cancellation of Heist. I was looking forward to that NBC show.
This summer I am looking forward to the 4400, the Closer, the Sci-Fi shows of course.
All should be good.

Just another Wednesday!!
If it doesn't well God this will be a more boring summer, during the day at least.
During the night, when I am talking to Chelsea, then things are great.
I have been spending the day catching up on TV.
Some stuff has been good some other stuff not so much.
I really liked Greys Anatomy. The West Wing, that was great.
What else did I see? Oh yeah Alias was good. So was the Simpsons and Family Guy.
American Dad was also good. I'll be watching Boston Legal later.
Anyway, enough about my boring day.
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer.
Good Times!!

F-RI-DAY!!
I can not wait. Only 1 more week of regular classes, then FINALS!!!
Then 1 more week here!!
Life is good.
So, yesterday I cooked dinner, something new, and it actually turned out GREAT. It was this sort of "pie" thing, though it wasn't really a pie. It was spaghetti, squash and carrots as the base. Then on top of that was ground beef, garlic, water chesnuts, green onions, ginger, and a few other things all mixed together. Either way, it was GOOD! I was surprised to be honest with you, but then again, I can cook, so yeah! Anyway, I am looking forward to this weekend. Some quiet time. Some time to relax and enjoy life.
Weather lately has been crappy, but what you gonna do? I know I can't control the weather, yet! But it is okay, You have to have rain and the like otherwise, it just gets TOO hot. No body likes it when it is too hot. I certainly don't like it one bit.
I was looking at the blogs of the others, and frankly, I posted a comment wherever I could. I know, you guys don't appreciate my humor, but tough. I think I am very very funny. I mean I have always considered myself hilarious. Like in a George Carlin kind of way, but not really.
I am going to go now, gonna get ready for the days classes. Take a shower, comb my hair, brush my teeth, put on deodorant and cologne, and of course get dressed. I'll probably eat breakfast too and keep watching TV. Watching ABC right now, Good Morning America. Emeril is on. What a fat bastard. Oh well.

The NBC Universal People Suck
They've put on 10 episodes, with another 10/11/12/? left in the season.
This is just a greedy way for them to get more money.
This means they suck.
My opinion of course.

Doctor Who
I was and still am more preferential to the acting of Eccelston.
Either way they are off to a good start.
If you don't live in Britain do what everyone else is doing and Bittorrent it.
Because well, waiting for Sci-Fi to show it, just not a good thing.
